Most information is supplied by source systems of colleges affiliated with Publinova. Which source systems are involved varies from college to college. They may be source systems of institutions such as SURFsharekit, PURE, or, for example, a college website. Information is retrieved from the source systems every 24 hours. Information is exchanged according to standards as much as possible.

The university determines to what extent you can modify the information via Publinova or whether this must be done via your source system. Contact the university (library) if you want more editing rights on the content.

There is also the possibility to add information yourself. However, it is important to ensure the quality of the information, so restrictions may apply. For example, adding new products is only possible for college employees (researchers and support staff).

Applied research crosses the boundaries of universities of applied sciences. In Publinova, you can see which parties have contributed to this. For example, a project from SIA may be uploaded by SIA on which Colleges X and Y have collaborated. Even though Colleges X and Y are not yet connected to Publinova, their college profiles will be linked to SIA's project. This may also apply to individuals, products and projects. In this way, we are trying to create a complete picture of practice-based research. All information found on Publinova is covered by open access..

We are a new platform and are working with the colleges and other parties (a.o. SIA) to make the information as complete as possible. It may be that we are still missing information. Together with universities of applied sciences we will work in the coming years to make the picture of applied research as complete as possible.

Party unknown are those parties (associated with products and projects) that do not (yet) have a known profile on Publinova. This can be added by a researcher or supporter. Read how to create a party here. (Translation will follow soon)
